Instructions not Law

This bears repeating: Torah means "teaching" or "instruction", not Law. Believers in Yeshua who closely study and folllow Torah do not do so to earn salvation or attempt to be "right" in God's eyes. We can never be right in God's eyes without the Messiah.

Closely studying The Hebrew Scriptures greatly increases understanding and appreciation of the New Testament because Torah is the foundation of the entire Bible. Following Torah can bring a believer into a deeper, more personal relationship with God because he or she is living as God instructed His people to live, even before He designated people as Hebrews: Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, Noah . . .
